possible easy screentilt mod using prisms (not yet tried)

i recently mentioned the possibility of using a prism ontop of the mpc1000 display as an easy means of tilting the the display to a more comfortable angle. if you dont remember prisms from gradeschool science class, heres the wikipedia entry on "prisms"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(optics)

heres some links for prisms that can be bought online, ranging from plastic to crystal to glass, and from cheap to pretty spendy.
these can usually be found a science supply and teaching outlets, if you can think of any nearby that would let you try this on your mpc,
i would REALLY love to see someone succeed in this

i know how resourcefull you 1000 users can be, so lets roll this idea around a bit? if noone tried this, i will at a later time and let yous dudes know how it worked out, the only possible problems i can think of are if the prism were to mess the color spectrum up on the 1000 display (maby in a good way?) or if the angle were too high a degree of tilt

the real difficulty here is geting the right angle.
ideally there would be a little flux, ie a prism-on-a-hinge

not a bad idea at all...try it out and let us all know...im am not sure either about getting the right angle once its setup tho

you guys are really adverturous.

the only problem with using one prism is that the image will be inverted. two or more must be used.

edit: sorry i was thinking that you'd be using the reflective quality of a prism rather than the refractive qualities.

be aware that colours will be spilt giving the screen a rainbow look.
